How It Works

The Magic Quad feature will take whatever quilt design that is in the top left quadrant of your quilt and mirror it horizontally to the top right quadrant.

It will then group the top of the quilt and mirror the top of the quilt vertically to the bottom of the quilt.

The result is a symmetrical quilt design that looks visually stunning, like this Seagrass Quilt designed by Wendy Chow of The Weekend Quilter.
